A new dawn.

Good morning tokers and growers, how are you all on this warm sunny morning, hope your all well. Week ten has gone, and week 11 is here, but what did week ten bring us, can only be more trouble. I can't remember the last time I had a grow last this long, it was a big Sativa, thought it would never end at 16 weeks, the veggers that were waiting to go into the flower room next were nearly as big as the flowering plants coming out. Nothing to spoil with this run as I only have the one space now, and grow direct from seed to finish. My only concern is the leaves on this extended grow, as they seem to be taking a battering. Problem with what can only be described as a three week revege, is the leaves seem stuck in between veg and flower, so I'm thinking the current leaves are going to fail the plant well before it is finished flowering. One good thing is no herming, you would think I would have a banana farm by now, but no nannas are being produced as yet. I did think about binning this grow when I saw the timer, and starting again, but now I'm intrigued to find out how it will turn out. Maybe bigger buds due to this mistake, and I'll have to do the same again next run, or could it turn into a new growing method, unlikely I think. It could be that the reveg leaves will keep the plants going until the end, we will find out over the next couple of weeks. Lets look at the pics.

The Pineapple. You can see the leaves in this pic.




Do Si Do. A lot of white hairs showing on this plant, looks like week five going by the hairs, with week nine leaves.




A pic after lights out. Looks like the Pineapple will finish first.


I'll get the Green Dragon jar out of the fridge this week end and get it strained, tested, and let you know how it turned out, I've no doubt it will involve a sofa at some point. And that's me away, enjoy your weekend people what ever your doing, pop back next week to follow my flowering saga, or if you have some thing better to do, then do that instead. Until next week, just keep tokin folks.

Good morning tokers and growers, how are you all on this cool over cast morning, hope your all well. Welcome to the briar patch that has become my grow. Week twelve has gone with week thirteen starting this morning, still can't put a finish time on this grow, buds look like they are still producing white hairs, and looking at the pics, they still look like they are in week five of flower, I still expect the leaves to give up the ghost before full flowering has finished, don't know how this will pan out, but we will find out, eventually. I used to tell new growers that no matter how bad their first grow was, they would still produce some thing to smoke at the end of they're grow, I'm glad none of them had this grow on their hands, or I would have to tell a whopping big lie, and get caught out. Its a good job I don't have to smoke this run, because if my lungs were sound, they may not be after bonging this lot. Good thing is, I only need the trykes and not the leaves, so hopefully we will reap some thing worth while. Anyway, lets look at week twelves pics.

The Pineapple. You can see the leaves fading faster than the plant can finish flowering.


Long side branch. Getting a bit big to support the bud with that twig of a branch.




Do Si Do. A little more fluffy than the Pineapple. Would be nice if it all fattened up at the end.






So now we're heading into week thirteen of flower, where this grow will end, nobody knows, we are currently four weeks over the estimated finish time, and not a pure Sativa in sight. I sorted the cold Green Dragon from the fridge, but not got round to testing it yet, but this weekend is a quiet one for a change, so should get some work done and test the Amnesia Lemon dragon, got to crack on before it rains, so if you've not lost the will with this grow, then pop back next week for another update, until then, just keep tokin folks.

You got a great attitude brother.
Always enjoy the read.

Good morning tokers and growers, how are you all on this warm, dull, but very thundery feeling morning, hope your all well. There goes week thirteen and we are still going strong, maybe another three or four weeks left to finish flowering, I could have flowered out two runs in this time, you can guarantee I'll be keeping an eagle eye on the timer segments next time that's for sure. Week fourteen descended upon us this morning at lights on, but with out a time machine, I can only show you pics of week thirteen. But if I ever get round to building a time machine, then I'll show you the whole grow in one update. The leaves are looking terrible, my very first grow looked better than this, and I knew nothing about indoor growing back then, so all the new growers reading this, take heart, we all have a bad run from time to time. Right, pics.

The Pineapple. Such big buds, very dense.




Do Si Do. Still a lot of white hairs on these plants, the Pineapple looks a faster finisher.




Flowering horse tail. Don't know if there are seeds forming, no sign of nanners.


And finally the results of the Amnesia Lemon Green Dragon cold jar. This is the darkest coloured jar I've produced, wondered if it was the age of the bud, as it was a year old. The Amnesia Lemon was put away to be rolled in the tumbler to be used for hash, due to the fact it hermed a little, pollen makes me cough like a choking dog, and I had better bud to smoke at the time, so it was shelved. It seems a very light type of bud, don't know if that is a strain thing or not.

You can see the dark colour in this pic. Ready to sieve.


Sieved into the evaporation jar. Every other quarter fit in the sieve, bigger jar next time maybe.


I enjoyed the hit from this jar, not lemon tasting, but not unpalatable either, a quick couple of squirts into a nice coffee and it was bang on. I had a couple of hours sat about doing nothing, an enjoyable hit, the next jar is in in the fridge doing its thing. So there you are, updated, the weekend is here, so enjoy it no matter what your up to, and above all, just keep tokin folks.

Got to try this sometime. My list keeps growing faster than my abilities.

Good morning tokers and growers, how are you all on this hot sunny Summer morning, hope your all well. This morning when the grow sun rose, saw the jungle slip into week fifteen , is this grow ever going to finish, seems to have taken the whole Spring and half the Summer to grow six plants, better be a good hit after all this grief. This weeks update sees us looking at the catastrophe that is week fourteen. And boy has the leafage has taken a real frying, not many leaves left, don't know if the buds will suffer or not, but if they look like they're going to join the leaves, then I'll have to chop. We still have around five leaves per plant, so no reason to panic just yet. Good thing is it saves most of the trimming, as I'll be able to just brush the brown dry dead crinkly leaves off with a soft brush, swings and roundabouts as they say. Glad I don't have to smoke this run, because if I'd not had lung problems before, I would after toking this lot. Looking through the loupe, there are half and half amber and milky Trichomes, which is a nice position to be in with any grow, especially this one. Lets look at some pics of week fourteen.

The Pineapple. Such big buds on skinny stems.


Plenty of benders and snappers, had to buy some string.




Do Si Do, hoping for some nice centre cola's from these when trimmed, we'll see.


Had to balance the lighter on top, as there's no leaves to hang it on the side.


And there you are, not the most photogenic grow on the net, but the end result should be fine, and should do the job it was grown for reasonably well. And there ends another quality update. So if you want another quality update, and I don't know why you would , then pop back for more of the same next week, until then, just keep toking folks.

Good morning tokers and growers, how are you all on this dull warm morning, hope your all well. This morning sees us start week sixteen of flower, this will be the last week of flower, as next week will see us choppin and a loppin. The trykes are a good mix of amber and milky, so a good all round hit should be had, but that's next week. This last week saw no change really in the plants, still a little leafless, with that lost in the desert for a month look about them. But they're still growing, so I expect a good return for my efforts, and the steep electric bills I keep receiving, still better than most of the street gear kicking about. Some of the centre cola's look really fat and heavy, but it's hard to see the wood for the trees at the moment, to many curled leaves, but when they're brushed off. Lets look at week fifteens pics for the last time before chop.

The Pineapple. Some big buds, with no popcorn. A lot of cinnamons.






Do Si Do. All three plants have long solid centre cola's, one weird double cola, nice.






And so the final chapter is nearly upon us, bet you can't wait, I can't, seems a long time since I started this run, I feel like I was a lot younger when I took the cuttings, my buddy who gave me the cuttings has flowered out one and a half runs since he gave me them, good job its not a race or my team would be a little red faced. Some time this week I'll get busy with the sizzors and see what we have. So get yourself back here next week for the end result and see how it pans out, until then, just keep tokin folks.

It has been a pleasure to follow along every week.
Going to miss my Saturday morning fix.
I don't think I could keep my girls alive for 16 weeks in flower myself.
Nice job~!
